President's Message
Opening Back Up

Personally, I am excited to see our local businesses opening back up and people out on Canton Street. Ashley and I couldn't miss Gate City's first day back on Friday! We ran into a couple of friends from Rotary and it felt almost normal to sit outside on a beautiful day to catch up over a beer.
